Jose Aldo squared off with Petr Yan for the UFC’s vacant bantamweight title on the main card of last night’s UFC 251 event from Fight Island.<\/p>\n

The result was a thrilling scrap which saw both men have their respective moments. However, Yan was able to turn the tide in his favor in the later rounds and ultimately scored a TKO finish<\/a> after landing a plethora<\/a> of ground and pound on the Brazilian.<\/p>\n

It was a disappointing setback for Jose Aldo, who was looking to join a short list of UFC fighters who have claimed gold in two different weight classes.<\/p>\n

Early this afternoon, the former featherweight kingpin took to his official Instagram<\/a> to issue a statement and provide his fan an update.<\/p>\n
